A 71-year-old man with no fixed address was arrested on March 28 after a road rage incident, and police said he was found with guns, ammunition and a machete in his vehicle.
A woman had called 911 after her car was struck on Route 2 in Painesville Township in an apparent road rage incident, according to the Mentor Police Department’s Facebook page.
A Mentor police officer located the suspect, identified as Gale R. Kennelly, in the city near Route 306. The officer pulled him over and allegedly found a loaded .45 caliber Glock handgun, a mini revolver, a rifle, ammunition and a machete, police said.
“One of the handguns was loaded and in the dashboard easily within reach of the driver. The other handgun was also loaded and was in a bag on the front floor of the vehicle,” police said.
